Oh, okay then.

So it looks like America’s Got Talent is set for a serious shake up.

Simon Cowell has reportedly fired three of the judges on the show, Mel B, Heidi Klum, as well as the host, Tyra Banks.

Himself and Howie Mandel are the only judges left (interesting, but we’ll say no more.)

According to Variety, the new judges are Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union.

Two queens, in fairness.

Amazingly, the show also has a new host! The fabulous Terry Crews will be the new host of the NBC competition.

Meridith Ahr, President of alternative and reality at NBC Entertainment, told Variety:

“One of the many secrets to the success and longevity of America’s Got Talent is its fearless drive to reinvent itself.”

“The next evolution of the format brings in fresh expert eyes to join Simon and Howie on the panel.”

“Gabrielle and Julianne are two of the most aspirational women in the business, on top of being electric entertainers with talent across disciplines.”

“I am excited to see how their knowledge, compassion and sheer joy enhance the experience for acts and viewers alike. As their partner in crime, host Terry Crews will continue to light up the stage with his quick wit and unending charm.”
